Long day!

Yesterday was a long day,  I had living support in the morning, and then spent 4 1/2 HOURS grooming Hubba at the salon!  (I usually work 3 hours so it was a bit of a difference!)  Besides the fact that he peed EVERYWHERE he did rather well, he's such a sweet dog, he just gets waaaaay too excited when stuff goes on around him!  Guess it's time to introduce the "Settle" command.  (a command that makes the dog calm himself down no matter what the situation is.  SUCH A GOOD COMMAND TO HAVE IN YOUR ARSENAL DOG OWNERS!!!)

Anyhoo, here's the before:

During:

and After, What a handsome boy!:

and here is just some of what we took off of him!:

Maria and Robban were super pleased, as was I.  So all in all a good but LONG day!

Well and truly hung

Yesterday me and Maria went flower shopping! I got a raspberry bush, two miniature roses, and tree other flowers that I forget the name of.

After I trained Hubba she and Robban drive me home and helped hang up my new guitar so now I don't have to keep it in the closet! Woohoo!

Today I am grooming Hubba at work, Expect before and after pictures!

New addition

Check out my new baby!

I'm slowly learning how to play, it's super fun.  So happy I finely have a guitar!

Today was a good but tiring day.  I bathed three Saluki's:

a Tysk Jaktterrier (German Hunt Dog):

and brushed out a Japanese Spitz:

in 3 Hours.  I am TIRED!!!

off to the couch for some bad TV.

P.S. Following the attack in Boston, I am relieved to report that my family in that area is safe, and unharmed. 

What a week

I've had quite the week last week.  My Vikings grandfathers funeral was on Tuesday, I worked Wednesday, trained Hubba Thursday, worked Friday, went to a party Saturday, and saw my Contact Person Sunday.  Today it's Laundry and lounging around in Sweat pants for recovery, before I have another full packed week again!  It's wonderful to have so much positive, non mental health related stuff to do!  But boy am I BEAT by the end of the day! 

My first training session with Hubba was on Thursday, and it went really well.  He is  SMART dog, and while we have A LOT of work to do, he already understands the fundamentals of clicker training and I am very hopeful that he will turn into the fantastic show dog he has every potential of being!

Saturday I went to a party with some of the girls in my DBT group, it was so fun!  We ate tacos, played games, and then went out to a fake Irish bar and laughed like the maniacs we are :P  I can't wait to do it again!

In celebration of me going to a party (those who know me know that doesn't happen so often)  I decided to play with some clip in extensions.  Here is the result:

I think it is now official that I am now growing out my hair :)


Also today Mi-Go went outside!  On a leash of coarse,  but it was his first time and he did GREAT!  My viking has had a much harder time accepting the fact that our little man is ready to go outside, he has been saying for weeks "I'm not ready for him to go out!  Can't we wait a little while longer???"  But today I got the all clear so armed with a leash and lots of cat candy we ventured into the big scary world of the backyard.  Mi-Go did better than my Viking did, who eventually started tapping on the window to signal he wanted me to bring Mi-Go back inside!  Hehe, silly Viking.  Thankfully it's supposed to be beautiful all week so there are many more outdoor adventures in store for Mr. Mi-Go!

Good day!

What a good day I've had! I went to visit two good friends and their dogs Vilda and Hubba. I am officially going to be Hubba's handler at dog shows! I'm super psyched about this, it's going to be so much fun! I'll be going there once a week to work with him threw out the summer, and our goal is to start doing dogshows in the fall. Hubba is so sweet and absolutely gorgeous so I know he will show well, and we start already on thursday! Yay!

Now I have to try to get some sleep, got a long day ahead of me tomorrow.
